Sir Lenny Henry says goodbye to Comic Relief with hit Barbie ballad

Sir Lenny Henry transformed into Barbie’s Ken as part of his last stint presenting Comic Relief.

The comedian wore a blonde wig and a fur coat to perform ‘I’m Just Ken’ in a pre-recorded music video.

Later in the programme he said it had been an “honour and a joy” to be the face of Comic Relief.

He said: “It is not about me – it is about the mirth and the money, the comedy and compassion.”

Henry founded the charity behind the annual comedy broadcast with filmmaker Richard Curtis in 1985.
